I neglected to give you some important information about the medication. The name of it is Midodrine hydrochloride. It is being withdrawn because the FDA is claiming the post approval studies done were inconclusive, they not only wanted to see that it is helping the patients but also that it has improved the quality of life. Personally speaking I cannot imagine life without this medication. The drug is available in generic form but the companies will not manufacture it at all if this is not handled.
If you would like to read the news release it is online just search midodrine fda news. The only names my doctor has available to write to are Drs. Stockbridge and Dr. Temple in Cardiorenal Division at the FDA.
This is only one of the issues that I deal with unfortunately but it is important to stay on top of it. Thank you so much for your help!
